Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle Injury Attorneys Serving Sacramento

Driving a motorcycle or scooter is one of the most responsible transportation choices a person can make. The size of a motorcycle is perfectly suited for an individual and it reduces the chronic overcrowding of our modern roadways; this is especially true in crowded Sacramento and nearby cities like Citrus Heights, Roseville, or Rancho Cordova. The fuel efficiency and low emission levels also mean that two-wheeled machines are the transportation of choice for the most conscientious among us.

The Double Whammy of Injustice and Motorcycle Accident Litigation

Despite innumerable beneficial aspects of motorcycle riding, there are two tragic hardships that we encounter as Sacramento motorcycle attorneys that potentially endanger every motorcyclist on the road. This is called “The Double Whammy of Injustice.” The Double Whammy of Injustice is 1) that automobile drivers are careless toward motorcyclists and 2) that ordinary motorcyclists are often forced to carry the burden of an unearned bad reputation.

Careless Automobile Drivers in Sacramento

Each day, automobile drivers injure and kill motorcyclists because of pure carelessness. Motorcyclists on the Sacramento roadways often recount stories of car and truck drivers who seemingly looked directly at the motorcyclist only moments before crashing into the motorcyclist or pulling out right in front of them. These deadly accidents occur because car and truck drivers seldom pay attention to anything other than cars and trucks. The unjust truth is that the primary benefit of a motorcycle, small size, can also put riders at risk among careless and distracted automobile drivers.

Unearned Reputation Of Law Abiding Motorcyclists

Working as motorcycle lawyers in Sacramento and surrounding communities we have seen a pattern of tragic injustice in courtrooms throughout Northern California. For instance when a law abiding motorcyclist has been seriously injured or killed by a careless car or truck driver, sometimes the motorcyclist is prevented from recovering deserved compensation. This is because insurance companies and defense lawyers spin tales of the mythological reputation that motorcyclist are outlaws and daredevils. The reality is that motorcyclists are ordinary people and usually are the most cautious users of any roadway.
